"I'm here," Tifa sheepishly exclaimed as she came sprinting out from the exit, holding a small bag in her hand a she reached them. She didn't know if Rei followed, as she saw the girl simply walk behind her. She had seen Aerith and Cloud from afar, but it didn't bother her anymore, as she knew Cloud wouldn't be unfaithful or take away her trust for him. "I saw a necklace that matched with my dress, so I had to buy it, and it was on sale so..." She gave a giggle, before going to Cloud, grabbing his hand tenderly as she looked at him.
Having enough, growling, Axel swiftly maneuvered himself so he'll be able to kick Saïx away from him, the hit landing deep in his gut as he snarled and backed away, stopping the repeated beating and grating of his claymore hitting his chakrams as he was pushed. The consequence was Saïx's weapon almost colliding with his head as he took his chakrams from above him at the same time to roll out sideways, letting the claymore slash into the ground from the perpetual strikes as it suddenly lost its target metals. Getting up quickly, breathing faster and sweat dripping on his forehead, he watched as Saïx headed straight for him again swiging around, his claymore back in order. It seemed to follow him a lot...that was it. If he can use Saïx's desire to kill him by chasing him around, then perhaps he can use that to his advantage. He prepared himself to do his act, until he heard a female shout from far off, shifting his eyes less than a second, but not exactly setting his vision on who was it. As small as the distraction was, it was small enough for Saïx to come face first in front of him, and before Axel was aware of anything, in two seconds, he was crashed to the wall that he was a few inches away from as the spiky side of Saïx's claymore dug into his stomach and cut through his flesh slickly, the sharp metals of the the edges impaling him mercilessly. It was hard enough to pierce far until it reached the back, pricking it until it touched the surface of the wall, pining him there. Axel gave a grieved starngled cry as the points made themselves rest in his insides, having the breath slammed out of him as his head made impact as well, but he didn't feel it, as that was nothing from the tribulation he was suffering from the harsh stab. The pain was so extraordinary wretching that it was numbing, it was indescribable,and his mind, eyes, and senses went blank for that moment as the misery travelled through his bones, body, and nerves, rocking and shaking him to the core, and all he could do was gasp out in palpitations, his eyes getting blurry and dazed as they were wide. The shock was slowly leaving, and the pain was becoming and more apparent, and his limp hands landed on the middle part of the cold metal feeling of the claymore, as he felt the very familiar red liquid seep out from his wound, his shirt damping as the cloth absored the crinsom liquid, as the rest of his sight were becoming surreal. The silence of the room was defeaning as he vaguely hear a distant echo of Vexen yell.... Vexen sighed as he quickly with a wave of his hand, halted the icicles that were covering and cooling the girl's body, making it disappear slowly. It wasn't that hurtful, so either she was exaggerating or she was simply weak. She would be cold for awhile, but otherwise fine, and this would stop the agony. Portalling once more quickly as he was done, since he knew that member wouldn't be moving soon, he went to his lab, where he knew Xangel would be when she transported. As much as he didn't care, they could use that female member's defenseless state for their liking. Eyeing the girl, he ordered. "Meet back at the Addled Impasse, and there you will warm up the girl from the cold. She might be useful, okay? I need to go to watch her." With that, he portalled back to the said place, not wanting to leave the girl alone just in case as he had mentioned. You can never know. He gazed at her, and was going to say something, until he heard a eery cry coming from a male....sounding like Axel's voice, and snapping his head sideways, his eyes widened at the scene he saw, gasping as his mouth dropped open at what he had spotted. Startled, his eyes searching the view, his mind processed that this wasn't suppose to happen, not now, damn it. "Saïx!!!" OOC: I hinted something before in my other post,and that's what I can say xP. And wow, I don't want Reixa to die, at least in a cool way if she will, you know xD. Bang. The ice attack was only meant to be on the wrist, not to cover everything.
Tifa smiled softly as she blushed slightly at Cloud's words and apology, and she was glad that he took the bravery of fixing things up with Rei. Axel...that would be another story, but maybe with a bit of talking she could sway him a little, if he ever appears. He was being so sweet, and he got her something! Hearing Angel's outburst, she replied, "Well, actually, Axel was doing much of the beating up to get some 'sense into him' and that it took 'two freaking hours' so I think he's a bit bitter right now. Rei then gave him a piece of her mind along that while."
Vexen gave a nod, not really concerned about any fatal injuries, but he wasn't going to say this that to her in case she followed. Thinking that the fight might be in Addled Impasse, Saïx's favorite playground, he portalled there first, appearing on the side oddly, since he was going to the actually space instead of the hall that lead to it with the fences. Hearing metal, he walked forward, and watched in fascination as Saïx had Axel keep up with his bangs, Axel himself looking a bit bloody slashes and scratches along his face, fresh and dry blood around him, especially in the back. Saïx, surprisingly enough didn't look good either, as his skin was red, a little but burned, his chest and some of his cloak was torn off and crimson could be seen. Heading more further, he had to stopped as his forehead touched a invisible shield. That was bad. Glancing around, he spotted a girl that with a black coat...a comrade that didn't belong to them, watching anxiously at the battle. What was she doing here? Cautiously, his hand filled with ice and shot it to her wrist. "You, girl, who are you?"
"Yes..." Vexen muttered, before getting up from his chair. He needed to see this himself, they couldn't afford to lose a member at this dire time. He eyed Xangel curtly as he said, "I'm going up there. You stay here, and don't touch anything."
OOC: Don't say it outloud xP. Edit it before Nymph see sit or something, is suppose to be secret. "Well, the harsh part is that it would be embarrasing and laughable. How would you feel if you were in that place? Is not the action, is the feeling of the person, Hopefully, Larxene would get angry instea dof anything else, make this easier to watch...." Tifa slacked off, searching for some dresses that could fit, also wondering where could Cloud be. "What color do you want it to be?"
Vexen didn't hear the last question as he stared at Xangel with bulging eyes, not believing what he was hearing. It sent his mind reeling on why in the world would Saïx and Axel be fighting? He could have found out, could he? Zexion didn't tell him? Not that he cared for Axel, but they needed their members now more than ever to keep up with the rival Organization, depsite Xangel being fire, it was their annoying fire wielder that had been with them for such time. "A member of a Organization wouldn't kill another member unless ordered to, or if they start at fight that ends critically. Tell me, do you know why Saïx and Axel are battling? Is it bad?"
OOC: Thank you :3 Placing his chakrams in front of him like a barrier again, as he kept blocking the incoming attacks, tired of jumping around trying to dodge every one of them. He thought over his options, and if he created his molting lave floor, it won't harm him since he was levitating instead of using the ground, and actually getting him down will be too much trouble to obtain. He could use his firewall so not only he could attack, but also obscure himself, until he got that Saïx had a sense of strong hearing. In this state, he would follow any little sound that lead him to his hiding place. Axel grunted as he felt a much stronger energy hit his wheels as he was behind them defensively, shoving him back slowly, only to be sent more and more faster, making the blast when it touches the metal sound like a drumbeat, and feeling in his hands like one. He had to think of options, and see what else he could come up, but he couldn't as he almost felt...panic. Not that anything would stop Saïx completely, but it was survival of the fittest in this case, and in truth, Axel couldn't really believe he had lasted this long. Maybe...he just wasn't ready to go yet, and that was what his anxiousness was coming from. He widened his eyes when he heard a roar, and had to more reposition his chakrams above his head as Saïx decided to go for close-range fighting again, and both weapons clashed once more a few inches up from his skull, and Axel struggled not to wither under the pressure the claymore was putting on his arms as it kept being compressed on him. Saïx had his feet on the tier, grasping the bluish roughly as he pushed it more, and was now bending his knees to and endured, as t o not give, his arms now shaking. He had to think of something. Fast. Another shot of a geyser attack wouldn't do since the Berserker was attentive and cautious, he could see it, and anything random would be dodged. Peharps if he stoped thinking negatively about his abilities, which he had never done before, he could get back in the game.
Tifa eyed Angel expectantly, glancing at Rei for a second, almost sadly, as she was looking over a dress that caught her own interest. "What do you think of it? Quite harsh, right?"
OOC: o_O Wow, I come to this page and is freaking far wide. Deathsight, could you please edit the post with the many exclamation points (just erase some) so it would get back to normal? And just to see, Nymph did kind of post, but it was small.
OOC: Lol. Good enough, and then we can get going to the dance :3. And again I have to say, poor Larxene :(.
OOC: I'm actually hearing the song right now, weird enough, though it was the most random that popped in my head xD. Set my mood. Here we are, Face to face, We forget, time and place. Hold me now, Don't let go, Though it hurts and we both know... Axel smiled a little as she heard her sigh, and positioned his arms to hold her closer and more comfortable, gently leaning his head on top of hers, before he slowly closed his eyes. He was never really the romantic, he didn't know where the idea came from himself, but he wanted his chance to before she went back to Marluxia's arms. He started to softly sway them, their bodies leisurely turning, the cool breeze and the twilight sun making the right kind of atmosphere. At least he kind of did a good job. Quietly, as he enjoyed this setting and her warm body again, he said in breath, "Since you never really knew me, what do you think of Axel The Great now?"
OOC: Honestly, me neither xDD And I'm taking a guy's point of view at her suggestions. Axel scringed distatefully, he didn't have a problem with Christina Milian, she was alright, but Jessica Simpson? He wasn't very fond of her, hell, he didn't like her period or her fake sister, though she did have a good voice, and none of those were on his iPod list anyway. Yet, there might be something in there that he didn't know he had, Tifa always messed with his iTunes, after all. Chuckling, he rested his head on her shoulder as now both his arms were around her, and his eyes looked down as he explored. "As we are looking...let's have some replacement." He coughed mockingly, and then began to sing jokingly. "You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you, you'd be like heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much, at long last love has arrived, and I thank God I'm alive ...." As he spotted something he was familiar with as he kept singing Frankie Valli's most famous song, shrugging inwardly, he presssed play on it, and the soft beginning beat of Gloria Estefan's Here We Are was heard very loud around them, coming from the headphones circled on his throat. Placing it back in his pant's pocket, he raised his head a bit to look at Larxene, amusingly as he explained, "Tifa got me this, and she played it...thought the words fitted...and I have no idea honestly..."
OOC: Nothing much, just where you left off ^^;. Axel chuckled, scratching the back of his head with his hand that had his iPod as he smirked sheepishly. "I'm not good at picking, honestly. That's why I suggested that in the first place. You're a female....guess some type of slow song that you know, just not anything like Celine Dion, you won't find that in my music list." Placing his arm back at his side from his skull, he tentatively wrapped it around her waist, leading her so she leaned on his body intricately. He took the hand she grasped and guide it to his shoulder, placing it there gently. Tifa just widened her eyes at Rei, not willing to believe what she just told her. It was devious, and she did find it amusing, but she couldn't help but feel a little bad for Larxene. That was going to be horrible, Tifa could just imagine how will she feel if she was put on her spot. Shaking her head, she sighed, a smirk on her face. "You're the spawn of pure evil, you know? I can't help but sympathetize with Larxene on this one. Man, this is going to be a bang." It was then she gave Rei a sly smile. "What about Axel? Are you going to grind and touch in places you're not suppose to? Truthfully, what are you expecting for him to do or react?"
Axel heaved a breath as he twisted his body around so he laid his backside in the ground, his vision landing on the orange, purple, blue, yellow, and red colored sky. He knew what Roxas was going to ask, again, and Axel didn't really know what to say at the moment. He turned his eyes to Roxas, and watched him look at the now bare stuck of ice cream as he was done, he shrugged, and threw it off the cliff as well. Now Axel had to roll his eyes. Hypocrite... "Perfect. Now we can fill the world with our crap," Axel commented dryly, before stopping as he contemplated a few things. Roxas wasn't suppose to know for his own good, what he might do if he sought out the real truth coudl be disasterous. Axel, almost wary, taking to reveal half of the story, muttered, "Listen, Roxas. The Keyblade...is a very special weapon, and nobody knows how the wielder is chosen, perhaps except the person itself. The boy you keep seeing in your dreams...is another wielder as well, so you're connected. Is better not to wonder over it, okay? Is for your own protection, trust me. Any person hidden in the dark could be after you for it...and that's all I can say." Roxas listened intently at his words, a bit surprised, but took it in slowly. At least...he was getting some answers, though the urge, the sensing of this boy...was almost gripping him. But...it was better not to contemplate it. Nonetheless, he gave a soft gaze at Axel, grateful. "Thanks. Took you long enough..."
After Tifa explained what she had said to Angel, she grabbed Rei by the elbow, and took her a bit far to check out some other dresses. Gazing at the girl before her, in a midst of curiosity and excitement, she immediately questioned, as they checked out a couple of racks, "Seriously, what did you do with that paint? Don't keep me out, I'm on your side here, whisper it or something. And did you catch anything else between Axel and Larxene other than the fact that he gave her his key? Actually...I've been meaning to ask you if we should tell him that we know...and so does Cloud, and Angel. Perhaps Roxas..," She paused, as she giggled. "That's high school for you..." OOC: I'm right ahead of you xP.
OOC: ....ZOMG, Xemnas actually laughed? xP And for not to spam...again. Roxas leaned over the fence of Sunset Hill, gazing at the horizon, while Axel was on the ground laying down face-front, looking at the bottom below as his head looked over the edge, apparently not caring for danger. He watched carefully as he took one last bite of the ice cream, and threw it off the cliff they were. Roxas scoffed. "You're littering." "And that's horrible because...?" Axel trailed off carelessly with a smirk on his face, looking up from his position on the ground to his blond friend. "You're infesting the world with your crap," Roxas replied simply, narrowing his eyes at him as he took another bit from his ice pop. "Actually, if it comes from me, is not really crap, is it?" he questioned cockily as he chuckled confidently, raising a brow. "Is more like I'm doing the world a favor." "....shut up, Axel. I don't know what's bigger, your ego, or the universe," Roxas remarked with a glare as he rolled his eyes, looking back to seeing the sunset...or the sunrise. He wondered...what is his existence about? All those dreams, and he didn't even know about his own weapons except that he was chosen for them. But why? And why did the boy on his dreams keep wielding it as well? "Axel?" "Hmm..." Roxas sighed, knowing that he tried before with Axel, but he wouldn't budge. "Forget it..."
OOC: Wow, we're planning to kill too many characters here xP. And the most important ones in the plot too. The only one who's safe is Larxene. And yeah =D, but what will it be called?
OOC: I can't believe you're actually thinking of killing Reixa though xP. Then again, I was planning Axel to do so...hmm.
OOC: Lol. Usually, I was in choir of sophomore year, and all there was...drama xP, yet fun. Fiz-fiet what? xD. Like Fits-stephen? Axel jumped to try to dodge the attack as fast as he could, out of breath by now, almost like a game of jump rope, but this time someone's life depended on it, and when his superior went to Berserk, his agility increased. Axel grunted and gave a wince as some hit too close to home, and by the two minutes it passed his body was full of scratches, blood sipping from them, but he couldn't stop to mind, and he had to somehow fight instead of being on the run from the beast. He and Larxene should fight, it would be the ultimate battle of sadistic savages, and interesting. Getting back on track, he tried to find some kind of way to stop his constant streams of sonic energy, and he had to bounce up high again as another one was going to hit him. Vexen just barely heard the sound of a shake, that it reached even in the underground. He stopped his admiration of a machine that could perhaps work wonders if used right, the only thing left was to test it out for any bugs. Ignoring the thunder for the short while, he eyed the case, as it was shaped like a coffin, and he touched it slightly. This was made with delicate and truthful research, so hopefully it will work. He was wasting his extra time on exploring his lab, and he had found many things that he had forgotten about. It wasn't long after when he was going to his desk that he heard a swooshing sound, and he snapped his head around as he saw Xangel, and his own mood turned displeased. "Perhaps you didn't hear me..." He stopped when he noticed her expression. "What's wrong with you? Upset that you're staying here by now?" OOC: That's all I have xD.
